Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated new album gets a release date

The hip hop wordsmith is set to release his highly anticipated new album on April 14. Apple Music posted a pre-order link for Lamar's latest work on Friday evening with that date, though an official title for the album has not yet been announced.

Many speculated Lamar's latest work — which will serve as a follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2015 album "To Pimp A Butterfly" — would drop on April 7, after the rapper cryptically teased that date in March in a new song, "The Heart Part 4."

It turns out the album wasn't slated for the first week of April, after all, though it's possible Lamar was just hinting April 7 would be the day he announced the album's actual release date.

"The Heart Part 4" does not appear to be included on the new album. The only song title listed so far on iTunes is "Humble," which he released last week.

Lamar, 29, earned attention outside of the music realm for "The Heart Part 4" last month after its release because of the song's lyrics bashing President Trump.

"Donald Trump is a chump, know how we feel, punk," Lamar raps in the song. "Tell 'em that God comin' and Russia need a replay button. Y'all up to something, electorial votes look like memorial votes. But America's truth ain't ignorin' the votes."
